Cookie in hand I slip out of the kitchen and sneak back to my sad excuse for a room. My hand's on the doorknob when.
"Where have you been?" It's Nurse-ela De Vil, she spotted me!
"Just a walk!" I say, slipping the cookie into my pocket, "You don't have to monitor every single thing I do ya know!"
"Actually I do! It's my job!" She says before storming off in a huff.
"Mission success!" I think to myself.
"Good sneaking!" It's Mary, my only friend in this place, everyone is always really rude to her, nobody even acknowledges her presence.
"Thanks! Want half?" I ask.
"It's all good, I'm not hungry," she replies. See, there goes Mary being her strange self again, always complaining about never getting food but when she's offered it she turns her nose up at it! She confuses me that girl does.
" Hey Mary, can I ask you a..." I start to say before realizing she's gone, "Mary? Oh well never mind!"
I finish my cookie, pull the threadbare sheets over me and try to fall asleep on my concrete slab of a bed.
"You should have listened... Now they will find you and they will be relentless!"
